Why does my dog throw up 2-4 times a week, often after eating?

Question

Dog threw up strange vomit. Has done this type of vomit before too. It's very strange looking. In general he seems to throw up a lot. About 2 to 4 times a week. Mostly normal type of vomit. This strange type of vomit is occosianal. I assume it's not poo as seems to have saliva in it, but can't say for sure. Today, just done after eating. Within 10 minutes. He doesn't like his food and only eats when we mix in Gravy. We have tried various healthy dried foods but he doesn't like any. 1st pic today. Pet's info: Dog | West Highland White Terrier | Male | neutered | 2 years and 6 months old | 18 lbs

If Leo is vomiting 2-4x a week routinely I would be concerned because this is not normal for dogs. In the pictures you provided it looks like the food is not fully digested. I would be worried about gastritis, a blockage, or irritable bowel disease. My best recommendation is to take Leo to the vet so the issue can be sorted out. They may recommend lab work and x-rays. I hope they can figure out what is going on with Leo. Good luck!
